Gary Neville was not sure the booing of national anthems is always necessarily disrespectful.
When I played in the different countries and our NA was booed I always took it as the opposition fans trying to unsettle us , drown our fans out and never as some kind of attack on us as people.Same when we did it other teams. Is it really that bad and disrespectful? Incoming🔥😂 — Gary Neville (@GNev2) July 9, 2021
